Mumbai,the organization that is an exponent of environment-friendly practices, will be a part Malhar at The St. Xaviers Colleges this year. Vishwas panel speaker, Mr. Rushikesh Chavan is the speaker for the photojournalism workshop called Life in a Flash. Vishwa has collaborated with Malhar as they both agree that the preservation of the environment is the key to our secure future and the youth is the catalyst toward this goal. Vishwa aims to emphasize that understanding the environment is the first stepping stone to responsible change.

The workshop involves a succinct speech by our eminent speaker Mr. Rushikesh Chavans who will be speaking on behalf of Vishwa. Mr. Chavan will speak on The co-existence of Nature and Man which is the theme of the workshop. In an attempt to inspire the students, he will highlight the difference between human beings and their ability or capability to co-exist with nature as well as adaptive powers or skills. He will also bring our attention to what one can learn from animals or the environment. Mr. Chavan will aim to characterize the relationship between Nature and Photojournalism.

After the speech, the participants will be given a few hours to encapsulate the theme with a series of photographs. Using nothing but their cameras, the participants will have to create an original story which will then be judged. Mr. Chavan will also be a part of the judges panel.

Mr. Yogendra Vora, Founder & Conveynor of Vishwa says Vishwa believes that it is imperative to highlight certain aspects of our mission at Malhar to reach out to a large amount of people, particularly the youth. They are our future leaders and they have the power to emasculate the harmful practices brought upon us through years of taking the environment for granted. Like I always say, even if we manage to influence just one person, we know we are one step closer to our goal.

About Vishwa

Vishwa was founded by Mr. Yogendra Vora and Dr. Purushottam Rajimwale with a vision to have a unique first-of-its-kind platform in India to develop sustainable solutions to the environmental problems facing the world. Originating from the Sanskrit word meaning The whole world, Vishwa is a non-profit platform for strengthening the development of a greener tomorrow. It is an initiative by Mr. Yogendra Vora to utilize resources from our Mother Earth and feel the need of nurturing and protecting it for the future by finding sustainable lifestyle solutions TODAY!! . He believes that everyone, even though from a diverse background, can play a role to make the world a better place to live in.

We understand that erratic human consumption behavior over the years has led to issues like Global Warming, Climate Change, Deforestation, Energy Crisis, Intense Pollution and Species Eradication, and we seek to redefine our individual consumption patterns as well as business practices, products and services to function in harmony with the planet.

As part of our vision to create a platform for bringing together, world class eco-friendly solutions to create a cleaner & greener future for our world, Vishwa organizes an annual event, The Vishwa Show as well as year round activities that look for micro-solutions to macro problems, and provide information about what every individual can do to make a difference.

We are soon going to organize The Vishwa Show 2010, a platform for strengthening the development of a greener tomorrow, is a three-day festival-cum-exhibition that will enable the citizens to directly interact with companies and organizations that provide Green solutions and other eco-friendly alternatives.
